lib.point.draw.DrawRibbons - tixl3d/tixl GitHub Wiki
Draws a point buffer as ribbons. The lines will distance to the camera. You can override this with the ScaleWithDistance parameter. We use the points W attribute as a scale factor for the line width. If the W attribute of a point is NaN (Not a Number), that point is not being drawn and acts as a separator between the adjacent line segments.

| Name (Relevancy & Type) | Description |
|---|---|
| GPoints (BufferWithViewsRequired) | Input for Points |
| Color (Vector4) | Selects the color for the ribbons. |
| Width (Single) | Width of the Ribbons |
| Spin (Single) | Uniformly rotates the ribbon around its center |
| Twist (Single) | Rotates the end point of the Ribbon and thus twists it. |
| TextureMode (Int32) | Defines the mode in which the texture is mapped to the tape. |
| TextureRange (Vector2) | Modifies the Start- and Endpoint of the used texture scaling / stretching it. |
| EnableDepthWrite (Boolean) | Defines whether Ribbons cover itself or is covered by or covers other 3D elements. |
| BlendMod (Int32) | Selects the Blendmode. |
| Culling (CullMode) | Defines the transparency of the surface. None: All surfaces are "bothsided" or always visible from all sides Front: The normals are flipped (frontside is transparent / backside visible) Back: Default (Frontside is visible / backside is invisible) |
| UseWAsWeight (Boolean) | Defines whether the "W" value of the points used has an influence on the width of the ribbon. |
